These are personal experiences of individual users. A particular statement does not mean that another user will have the same experience.
I am very satisfied with the ointment, as it helps me with all kinds of pain. When I apply it, the pain quickly disappears and I can work normally again. Thank you for your products, and I wish you much continued success.
29.1.2016 · statement no. 293My husband and I have been using the product regularly for about a month. It helps both of us, although the pain in our joints and hips is still present, but it seems to me that it is slowly subsiding. I believe it will be even better with longer use.
15.1.2017 · statement no. 292I have been using your ointment for about three years, and it helps me with pain in my muscles, joints, and spine, as well as with abrasions. I now also use the cream, which suits me even better because it absorbs into the skin more quickly. It is a true miracle of nature.
20.12.2016 · statement no. 291I am new to using your products. I work as a pedicurist and use the product in my work for fungal nail conditions, for clients whom I accidentally injure, or when treating ingrown nails.
13.12.2016 · statement no. 290I use Smrekovit 365 spruce cream for rheumatoid arthritis, specifically for problems affecting my wrists and fingers. After just one month of use, I can feel an improvement.
12.12.2016 · statement no. 289I have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis on my palms and soles. In summer, my skin cracks badly and is very painful. With spruce ointment, the wounds healed quickly. I also had severe pain from arthritis in my hands, but now I can hold things again. Without this ointment, life would be unbearable.
23.11.2015 · statement no. 288I have been using your spruce ointment for six to seven years and am very satisfied with it. I use it for my children on abrasions and wounds, and for myself to massage my joints. I cannot be without it, as we use it up straight away.
17.11.2016 · statement no. 287The product is truly excellent and has proved itself many times. I most often use Smrekovit Klasik spruce ointment because I can use it externally and internally. For more pronounced pain, I use Smrekovit Ekstra. I can no longer imagine not having one or the other at home – they are always close at hand. It is true, however, that persistence, regularity, and discipline are necessary when using them.<br>I had a wart on my heel that was very painful. Once a week, I went to the health centre, where they cauterised it, for almost two months. I decided against surgical removal. When I started using Smrekovit ointment, I applied it to the wart and covered it with a cotton pad. After ten days, it no longer hurt, and I also noticed that the skin was healing nicely. After one year, there was no longer any sign of where it had been, and it has not returned to this day.
on an uknown date · statement no. 286I have known your product since 1990, when a gentleman used to sell it in shops and hospitality venues. That is where I first bought the ointment. I once worked in an environment where there was a lot of smoking, although I never smoked myself, and every year, sometimes even today, I was troubled by coughing and chest pain. The easiest way for me to relieve it is to apply the ointment to my chest in the evening, cover it with a cloth, and leave it on overnight. After about three days, it is noticeably better.
11.11.2016 · statement no. 285My husband and I have been using Smrekovit for twenty years, following a recommendation from someone in our neighbourhood. We use it regularly, almost every day. We apply it for back pain, tired legs, and itching. I have given it to others as a gift several times, but I have yet to meet users as persistent as the two of us. We wish you much success in your work.
on an uknown date · statement no. 284I have been using Smrekovit for 12 years for various skin problems. I also use it in my mouth, nose, and ears, where I had herpes years ago. I have been living with three chronic diseases for a long time, and they cannot be cured, so at times it all weighs heavily on me. The product helps me with everyday problems. I can hardly hear and my eyesight is poor, so I sincerely thank you for always listening to me and sending me the products when I ask.

Documented cases from practice
Some experiences are documented in greater detail. In addition to the user's account, we collect available information about the course of the case, supporting documentation and the circumstances of use, while also clearly stating the limitations of the case.
A documented case contains more verifiable information than a regular user review, but an individual case does not by itself prove that Smrekovit caused the reported outcome.

How our archive of experiences is created
Experiences come from users
Most statements were submitted in writing, by email or through a feedback form. Google reviews are displayed separately, directly from their public source.
We publish them with permission
Our public archive contains statements from users who permitted their publication. We do not select them according to how positively the user described their experience.
Originals are kept in our archive
Written statements are stored together with their date and archive reference number. Translations preserve the meaning of the original statement, while personal information not intended for publication is not displayed.
A personal user experience is not the same as a documented case, and a documented case is not, by itself, clinical evidence.
Share your experience with us
If you have used Smrekovit, you are welcome to send us your experience. It can be a short impression or a more detailed description of how you used it.
A submitted statement is not published automatically. We include it in the public archive only with your permission.
Frequently asked questions about user experiences
Are the published reviews genuine?
Yes. These are statements that we actually received from users. Written experiences are kept together with an archive reference number and, where known, the date they were received. Google reviews are displayed separately from their public source.
Why are some reviews not signed with a full name?
The amount of personal information displayed depends on the user's permission. Some statements therefore include a full name, while others show only a first name, location or another limited form of identification.
Do you publish every review you receive?
Not automatically. The public archive contains statements from users who have permitted their public publication. We do not select statements according to whether the user describes Smrekovit positively or negatively.
Do you alter the wording of user statements?
We do not alter the substantive meaning of a statement. In older statements, we also preserve the terminology and product names used by the user at the time. Translations preserve the meaning of the original statement.
Why do you also show older reviews?
Because this page also serves as an archive of experiences collected over the years. Where known, the date is shown with the statement so that older experiences can be understood in their historical context.
What is the difference between a review and a documented case?
A review is a user's personal statement. A documented case includes additional information about the course of the case, available documentation, circumstances of use and the limitations of the case. Neither an individual review nor a documented case proves causation by itself.
